Luke Y Thompson, Writer

Since then, he set the standard for modern Comic-Con coverage under Nikki Finke at Deadline, and has contributed to most major L.A. outlets, including the L.A. Times, L.A. Weekly, CityBeat, E!

A former editor-in-chief for Voice Media’s Topless Robot site, and editor at Nerdist, he has also acted in low-budget horror movies, and contrary to stereotypes, enjoys consuming and analyzing all forms of cinema. He considers himself better than you, but is too insecure to actually say that part out loud.
